SARAH Jessica Parker is set to return to television, a decade after she hung up her stilettos on Sex and the City.

According to Deadline.com, the star is attached to a television series based off the book Busted: A Tale Of Corruption And Betrayal In The City Of Brotherly Love by Pulitzer Prize-winners Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker. (The true story focuses on the authors who are both investigative journalists looking at the biggest police corruption scandal in Philadelphia history.)

Parker will play one of the journalists, although the character is a world away from Carrie Bradshaw, the journalist she played on Sex and the City.

Although Sex and the City spawned two feature films (and rumours of a possible third continue to swirl), Parker has not been back to television since the last episode of the iconic show went to air in February 2004.

In a statement, SKE, the company which is producing Busted said that they were thrilled to nab Parker.

“Wendy and Barbara have written an amazing true story, and we’re thrilled for it to be SKE’s first television project,” said SKE president of production, Jim Tauber.

“Sarah Jessica’s coming on board, along with David Frankel and Don Roos is simply a perfect combination that we couldn’t be happier about.”
